COLLECTION OF MR. EDWARD BRANDUS 


PREFACE 


It is not often that the close of an Art Season in New York 
brings to the Auction Room so many and such varied and inter- 
esting canvases, representing such widely different schools and 
periods as those which make up the collection formed by Mr. 
Edward Brandus, of Paris and New York, and noted in the 
Catalogue which follows this Preface. 

American art lovers are eclectic in their tastes ga inclinations, 
They do not confine their study or collectng to the art of any 
country, period or school. The religious subjects of the Italian 
and Spanish Primitives and their followers of the Renaissance, the 
Peasants and Burghers with their ladies of the early Dutch and 
Flemish masters, the graceful, delicate and dainty, even if artificial, 
pastoral and court scenes. and the beauties of the decorative early 
French painters—the rich and glowing landscapes and the dis- 
tinguished portraits of the early Englishmen—all these through 
the Barbizon Romanticists, inspired by their English predecessors, 
to such modern masters as the lately dead and mourned Thaulow, 
the landscapist Cazin, the colorist of Venice, Ziem, England’s 
great painter, Alma Tadema, and the incomparable woman artist,, 
Rosa Bonheur—all have their followers and devotees in the United 
States. 

This very eclecticism—this divergence of taste, has brought to 
America, and especially to New York, the past twenty-five years, 
more varied and individually representative great and important 
pictures than can be well estimated. ‘There are doubtless greater 
collections of the works of individual and National schools in the 
Galleries of Europe than can be found in America, but it is 
doubtful whether any country holds collections so wide in range 
or so representative of the art of all times, since painting began, 
than the United States. An eclectic taste, and the wealth of 
American collectors which can gratify this taste, have resulted in 
the formation of individual collections of pictures most valuable 


to the art lover and student, and whose like, as has been said in 
variety of schools and periods and wideness of range cannot be 
found elsewhere. 

The collection of Mr. Brandus, so soon to be dispersed at 
auction, has been formed with a view to the gratification of these 
varied American tastes and inclinations. Its canvases have been 
selected with care, knowledge and experience, not only of European 
but American proclivities, extending over many years. Each and 
every example has been chosen with the double purpose of exem- 
plifying some school, master or period, and as to its relation 
towards an harmonious whole. 

To illustrate and emphasize this estimate of the collection now 
offered American art lovers, let us glance at a few of its pictures— 
those which represent best schools and periods, and which conse. 
quently form the clous of the display. Of the most noted women 
of the 18th century in French history, Marie Antoinette and La 
Marquise de Pompadour, probably still hold the centre of the 
stage, and of these interest still centres in and hovers the most 
over the figure of the Pompadour—that Belle Marquise, who with 
her ‘‘beaux yeux’’ bewitched half Europe, and whose qualities of 
mind made her for a time the real ruler of France. The toast of 
her day, she was also the most desired of all models by the painters 
of her time, and the many portraits of La Pompadour, painted by 
so many masters, are known to all art lovers and students—the 
originals are among the most cherished treasures in France, ane 
their reproductions are numberless. 

Of the painters of La Pompadour, Carle Van Loo was pre- 
eminent, and the brother of La Belle Marquise himself, gave as 
his testimony that no other painter who had essayed to transcribe 
her charms had so well succeeded in catching that elusive ex- 
pression, that indefinable beauty of feature, which so captivated 
not only Louis XV., but the courtiers of the time. Mr. J. Pierpont 
Morgan has in his remarkable collection Van Loo’s portrait of 
La Pompadour as a Sheperdess—‘‘ La Bergere’’—and Mr. Edward 
Brandus now offers the well-known portrait by the same master 
brush of La Pompadour as a Sultana. The canvas so well portrays 
the famous beauty, and is moreover such a masterpiece and 
attractive work of art, that it should find a resting place both as 
an historical and art work in an American Museum. 

But La Pompadour, fascinating as she is, in her Oriental garb, 
must not too long detain us, especially when such another portrait. 
as that of Mme. Lambert de Thorigny by Largilliere awaits 
inspection. This is another most artistic and decorative canvas,

and comes from the collection of Comte A. de Ganay. Few, if 
any, better examples of this noted painter of the French Grandes 
Dames of the eighteenth century has ever been offered at auction 
in New York. The canvas is not only a superb example, but is 
wonderfully well preserved. Here also is a second and smaller 
Largilliere, also a superior example, a portrait of ‘‘La Marquise 
d’ Imfroit,’’ painted for the Prince Regent, the Duc D’Orleans. 

Of other early French decorative painters Mignard, Tocque 
and others are well represented. 


A contrast in subject and treatment are the pictures by the 
early Dutch and Flemish masters, which the collection comprises. 
It is difficult almost to believe that these placid, stout, middle-aged 
ladies, with their wide ruffs, black silks and satins and their look 
of eternal content, which Ravesteyn in his ‘‘ Portrait of a Lady,’’ 
from the Comte Mniszech collection, and Mierevelt in his ‘‘ Portrait 
of Cornelis Van Hooft,’’ from the Theric de Chatelard collection 

_ present, could have been earlier sisters of Van Loo’s Pompadour | 
and Largilliere’s Lambert—but so they were, and the brush of 
the more Northern painters portrayed the women and the charac- 
teristics of their time just as faithfully as did those of the French- 
men of a century later the women of their race and period. 


Crossing the North Sea, we turn with Sir Thomas Lawrence 
and his flowing and rich palette to the contemplation of an early 
English beauty in his charming ‘Portrait of a Lady’’ and with the 
earlier and colder, but always popular, old Sir Peter Lely, to the 
study of an English Grande Dame, in his ‘‘Portrait of the Count- 
ess Kildare,’’ from the Sedelmeyer Gallery of Paris. 


_ Sir William Beechey, he who loved to portray handsome Eng- 
lish girls and ruddy faced, bluff old English squires and sailors, 
and Harlow, the gifted pupil and follower of Lawrence, are also 
both well represented. 


Again we cross the Channel, and now with the Barbizon mast- 
ers stroll through the Forest of Fontainebleau, which they have 
made an enchanted woodland for all time. Corot—the great 
Corot—is shown in his earlier and formative period by a remark- 
able canvas, ‘““The Rainstorm,’’ most interesting and valuable as 
presaging his after development. This comes from the Sarlin 
Collection. Diaz lives again in ‘‘La Meute sous Bois,’’ a hunting 
forest scene, very characteristic, exhibited by himself in the Salon 
of 1848, purchased by Crabbe and illustrated in the catalogue of 
his collection, and also shown in the noted Loan collection in 
Paris of 1889. A small but representative landscape by Rosseau, 


and characteristic examples by Jacque, Troyon and the ocean Van 
Marcke, make up a well selected panel of Barbizons, 

Of the modern foreign painters, perhaps the best represented is 
Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, who alone has revived for modern eyes 
the ‘‘Glory that was Greece, and the Grandeur that was Rome.”’ 
His wonderful painting of marble, and his carefully exact rendi- 
tion of the customs and costumes of old Greece or Rome are well 
exemplified in a beautiful canvas, ‘‘ Bacchanalia.’’ Rosa Bonheur, 
the greatest of all animal painters, is shown in an important canvas, 
fine in quality, and signed and dated ‘‘ Deer in Forest.’’ 

Space forbids more than mere mention of other moderns. 
Here is Schreyer, in a Bulgarian snow scene, with his dramatic 
composition, and well drawn horses; Ziem with one of his most 
glowing of Venices, a dream of color; Isabey in characteristic— 
mood ; Meissonier with a Louis XIII. Cavalier from the Meissonier 
sale; Henner (who will paint Nymphs with such hair and under 
such skies now that Henner is gone?); Jacquet, the painter of 
cherry faced pretty grisettes ; Bouguerau the painter of child and 
maidenhood, the paysagiste par excellence of modern France; 
Cazin, Aime Perret, the follower of Millet and Breton in the depic- 
tion of the ‘‘ Poetry of Toil,’’ and last, the giant Thaulow, ‘‘ Dead, 
like Lycidas, ere his prime,’’ the ‘‘ Painter of the Night, the Snow 
and the Stream.”’ 

Is not this a list, which to read makes the art lover’s heart 
to beat and his eyes to glow? It is many a day since such a varied 
art feast has been spread in New York. From Sunday, April r4th, 
it will be on view, and on the following Thursday and Friday 
evenings it will be sold in the same galleries where exhibited. 
Its dispersal will make for envy and for happiness.

‘AIME PERRET _ 


Paris 


Born at Lyon in 1846 


He began exhibiting in the Salon in 1872, and received — 
his first medal in 1877, followed by others in 1888 — 
and 1889. At the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, — 
1893, he was declared ‘‘hors concours,’ and in — 
the same year he was appointed “Chevalier” of 
the Legion of Honor. His Salon picture of 1876 


was purchased by Princess Mathilde, and the one 
of 1877,‘‘A Christening en Bourgogne,” by the City 
of Lyon. The French Government has bought a 
number of Perret’s works, first in 1879, Le Saint 
Viatique for the ‘‘ Musée du Luxembourg,” then 
his Salon picture of 1881 for the ‘Musée de 


Carcassonne,” of 1885 for the ‘‘ Musée de Chalons- © 


sur-Marne,” of 1886 for the ‘‘ Musée de Morlais,” 


of 1897 for the ‘‘ Musée de Nantes,” andthe City 


of Paris acquired his painting “L’Aieule.” Besides, 
Aimé Perret is represented in many of the most 
prominent private collections in France and abroad. 
He is called the painter of the ‘ happy peasants ” 
in difference of Millet, who painted the ‘‘ very 
poor peasants.” History will place the name of 
Aimé Perret in the same class with those of Millet, 
Rousseau, Jacque, and all those great artists who 
have shown us in their works the poetry of the 
field, its joys, sorrows, and its eternal beauty.
